# Packaging Method Page (Learn More)


Use the **Packaging Method** page to specify the method you want to use to create a new virtual application package.

This page contains the following elements.

<a href="" id="create-package--default-"></a>**Create Package (default)**  
Select this option to create a virtual application package by installing an application on the computer running the App-V Sequencer while the App-V Sequencer monitors the installation. You should also copy all the required installation files to a local directory on the computer running the Sequencer.

<a href="" id="create-package-using-a-package-accelerator"></a>**Create Package using a Package Accelerator**  
Select this option to create a package by using a Package Accelerator. The App-V Sequencer uses a Package Accelerator to create a virtual application package. A Package Accelerator enables you to create a virtual application package without performing all of the required manual steps during installation. For more information about Package Accelerators, see [About App-V Package Accelerators (App-V 4.6 SP1)](about-app-v-package-accelerators--app-v-46-sp1-.md).
